Honeymoon-specific tips
If privacy and quieter mornings are important, plan to use the adults-only swim hour from 8:00 AM–9:00 AM and ask at check-in about quieter building locations or upper-floor rooms away from playgrounds and public areas. Suites with one bedroom (Deluxe Apartment, 1 Bedroom) or the Superior Apartment, 2 Bedrooms, Kitchenette give space for separate living/dining areas if you want a mix of private bedroom time and living-room lounging.
Because there is no full on-site restaurant, bring or buy items to prepare a special in-suite meal (full kitchens are available in Deluxe Apartments) or plan a dinner out in Colonial Williamsburg or nearby Richmond Road restaurants.
- Request units away from playgrounds for quieter evenings
- Book a Deluxe Apartment if you want a full kitchen for a special in-suite dinner
- Confirm spa availability if you want couples’ treatments — status has varied
| Plan | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Romantic dinner | Use a Deluxe Apartment full kitchen or reserve a nearby restaurant in advance |
| Morning swim | Adults-only pool hour 8:00 AM–9:00 AM |
| Transportation | Rent a car for easy access to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens |
